Benedict Carsington is a handsome man, a brilliant aristocrat. His manners are refined and his reputation is impeccable. Who would have thought that fate would bring him together with the charming Bathsheba Wingate, an intelligent and capricious woman, under such unusual circumstances!

Bathsheba's daughter, full of risky ideas, entices the naive nephew Benedict to search for treasure. Young adventurers secretly set off on their journey, and the elders have no choice but to follow them. And soon Mrs. Wingate and Lord Carsington realize that they simply cannot live without each other.
